Upon Matters of Pith and Moment.

Upon Matters of Pith and Moment.
Hendricks County Republican: There is too
much classical education and not enough bust
ness education in this country.
Lafayette Courier: Indianapolis has just found
out that hunting for natural gas with a brass
band and big town meeting is not the way to
go at the work.
Mitchell Commercial: The only way to abol-
ish poverty is TO dig for yourself, or to get some
one to dig for you whose work is worth more
than his wages.
Kokomo Gazette-Tribune: The regular spring
involce of labor troubles appears to be at hand
The assortment is as large as usual and the quail
ity Is unchanged.
Nashville Republican: The State to move to.
if unfortunately you live outside of it. and to
stay in. if more fortunate. you already have
foothold there, is Indiana.
Lebanon Patriot: We expect soon to hear some
enthusiastic revenue reform Democrat assert
that the natural gas boom is the result of the
Democratic administration.
Brazil Register: Democracy is now in power.
but intelligent man ever thinks of associating
that party with our national prosperity except
as the only drawback In the way of our progress.
Mishawaka Enterprise: Poor old jeff Davis
occasionally comes to the surface and feebly
waves the Southern ''bloody shirt" He and
General Rosser make good team in this re-
spect.
Michigan City Enterprise. Strikes are like
two-edged sword, cutting both ways, and should

all. to settle difficulties between workingmen and
their employers.
Plainfield Progress The trouble with Indian
apolis seems to be that nature did not consider
it respectable to give SO useful article
natural gas a city capable of paying $25. 900
for base ball club. s9x4@-
Kendallville Standard: Indianapolis would
apparently be happy, and possibly good, over
her natural-gas prospects it It were not Tor the
defeats of her baseball club. There is always
some drawback in this world.
Huntington Herald: 1tstill continues mat
ter of surprise that ex-warden Howard, of the
southern penitentiary, has not been arrested.
Howard is nc two-for-a-cenr criminal Had he
been he would have been brought to punishment
long ago
Warsaw Times: The Indianapolis baker who
reports an increased patronage, and says ne has
nothing to complain of. The boycott has seen
its day-or rather it has not seen its day in this
country, and never will
cattle they will have their disposition to fight
taken from them, and stand around and eat,
should be called mugwumping them. At least,
when political party is mug0 Jumped it is de-
horned and made harmless
Middletown News: With a good supply Of
natural assured, Indiana's capital gives
promise OF being one of the chief manufacturing
cities of the Union. It is centrally located. and
has railroad facilities and other advantages, not
excelled by any other city in the country.
Franklin Banner The Indianapolis club is still
trying to play ball, NOTWITHSTANDING there is
crying demand by farmers for men to pillow and
hoe corn. We advised them last week to come
home and secure job of that kind while they
could do So Some meD are buil-headed.
Washington Gazette: Free speech cannot be
throttled by bold and brutal murders. and
cause is defeated by the killing of its advocates.
for martyrdom is simply impershable seed for
that cause. The history of the world demon
strates this fact Temperance will not die by
reason of the murder of its advocates
Richmond Telegram: To recall, as Jay Gould
has, with the utmost ease, all the small details
and the exact figures of the most comprehensive
transactions, and relate them with precision and
directness. shows a mental alertpess, vigor and
scope that must move admiration for even man
whose business, in reality, has ever been but
that of gambler.
Shelbyville Republican: Attorney general
Kitchener is preparing complaints against the
Insane Hospital trustees asking for their re-
moval. The charges to be presented are based
on the result of the late investigation of the
affairs of that institution. The whole gang
ought to be bounced, and we hope Mich" will
succeed in firing them out.
Corvdon Republican: Indiana has few cyclones
grasshoppers, no drought, the biggest school
fund in the United States soil and climate that pro-
duces crops of every kind that can be grown in
the north temperate zone. 1t has coal and nat
urai gas, and all these are reasons why other
people should locate in the State and those
already located should remain.
Frankfort Times When workiremen wake
up fully to the situation, 1.-The walking delegate"
Will CO. never to return. AS the matter now
stands, the walking delegate is master and the
workingman is his humble slave The strang-
est thing in all the strange conditions of labor is
to see freemen willing to be driven to do what
they know is not for their interest for the in
terest of their families
Elkhart Review: A representative of the Con-
gregatonal form of church polty was lately
planning that form of government to some good
people in southern Indiana. After detailing the
plan he remarked that it really the demo
cratic form of church government. "Just what
want" said the enthusiastic convert, I'VE are
all Democrats down here" But the church has
not been organized. They were more Democrats
than Christians.
New Castle Courier: The Democrats are busy
talking up Gen. Benjamin Harrison as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor next year
Well, there is no man in Indiana who could clean
the Democracy up any finer or more completely
than Ben Harrison. But it strikes that there
would be something almost ludicrous in putting
bim against such man Green Smith It
would be like employing ton of dynamite to
destroy pisanL
Monticello Herald: A reform" railway clerk
in the mail service has attempted by the aid of
the Indianapolis Sentinel to make Republicans
responsible for the numerous blunders which are
occurring now days. In view of the fact that
about four out of every five in the service are
Democrats the defense is not good one, espe-
caly when it is generally recognized that a
clean sweep of Republican clerks will be made
soon as it can be done without throwing the
service into utter chaos
Lawrence Mail The L., n. A. & c. railway
charges So for every carload of stone hauled
from the Blue hole quarry the mills, less than
one mile; and the same amount for every car
load hauled to the mills from the Dark Hollow
quarries. a distance of about three and one-half
miles; all of which, after it is sawed, is reshipped
to distant points the same company's main
line at rates nearly exorbitant. 1t may be
safely stated that the Monon route derives be-
tween 5000 and $500 per day from Bedford stone
during six months every year.
